a question about metal energies... if somebody uses swift or something that says 'not affected by any other effects on that Pokémon', and the pokemon has a metal energy attached, is that counted as an effect?(i.e. the damage would not be reduced.)
Ruling Swift vs. Metal Energies

what if the pokemon attacking is a dark type and has dark energy? will it +10?
it would add the damage if you were Dark Metal, wouldn't it? if a dark pokemon with a dark energy attached used swift that usually did 30 it would do 40 instead, right?
RE: Swift vs. Metal Energies
Swift only cancels out effects on the Defending Pokemon. Any effects which are applied to your active pokemon still happen. So yes, Dark energy adds an extra 10 damage if it's a dark pokemon since it's an effect on you, not the Defending pokemon.
Dark Metal energy doesnt add or reduce any damage. It simply provides energy, that is all.astral_boy said:
